NVIDIA just built an audio AI that can actually think—about conversations, music, and more. Mistral fired back with ultra-efficient open-source audio models, while Boston University trained a medical AI entirely on podcasts. Amazon dropped a coding agent that writes production-ready software, and Claude is now doing real-time financial analysis. NC AI launched Korea’s strongest vision-language model, Zurich gave its agents an AI assistant, and OpenAI’s ex-CTO Mira Murati just raised two billion dollars to build something huge. This week, the AI race got louder, faster, and smarter.
